    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    I unlocked this thread, hoping we can have a sane discussion about public land agencies, funding, and that "everything is going to be okay." If we can't, I guess I'll lock it again, maybe even delete it.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    I first read this book in the summer of 2016. One of my more liberal friends recommended it to me as an explanation for some positions I couldn't understand in my head. He warned that it was written by a guy who though a self-proclaimed liberal, admitted that his field research in psychology...

    Montana House Bill 676 - This could sell off 1.25M acres of State Trust Lands - that's almost 25%!!! This is not the Homesteading Bill

    I don't think you are missing something. Lots of problems with this bill, from many different angles and interest groups. Thus, the bill still awaits assignment, so it is hard to ask people to comment in an effective manner without knowing where/when the bill is headed. I wouldn't say it is DOA...

    The Tourney ‘25 - MN High School Hockey

    Happy to see East Grand Forks win the 1A tourney. They beat #1 ranked Warroad in the Section 8 finals, so they deserved to win the big one. Good for Moorhead after many times of being runner-up in 1AA. Another Section 8 school that has some players who will be playing for "The Cup" in ten years.

    Round In The Chamber

    I've spent a lot of time over the years looking for statistics on firearm hunting injuries. Most the data focuses on treestand falls, as it far outnumbers injuries from firearms. Here is the one study I have found from IHEA. It's dated - 2001. It goes into the "primary cause" of fatalities and...

    Round In The Chamber

    As a note to expand on this, the context of the comment refers to out hunting big game with a rifle, not concealed carry or with a shotgun while bird hunting.

    Round In The Chamber

    And yes, this was discussed on HT previously. In the last couple years we've ended up with some more emails and comments about walking around with a live round in the chamber of a big game rifle. We are scripting a longer video for YouTube that has some more concrete examples and we've asked...

    Round In The Chamber

    Michael ran that by me before posting. I agree with the IG video he posted. My comment about walking around with one in the chamber of a hunting rifle, other than when moving in on a stalk, was less charitable than his comment. Nobody has ever been killed or harmed by a bullet leaving the...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Anyone going to get this back to the Original Post that started the thread, or do you just want to talk about Elon and Trump as billionaires?

    Who are public lands for?

    "Who are the Public Lands for?" I find that to be a great question to ask. To me, the answer is all Americans. Yet, as many point out, that's not within the financial and/or geographic reach of many, even with 25 million USFS acres east of the Mississippi River. As America becomes more...

    Fire up the saws!

    Lots of comments worth noting here. The infrastructure of loggers/mills/skilled labor is currently not there to ramp up timber production in a big way. Canadian softwood lumber subsidy, unless changed as part of the Canadian tariff proposal, still negatively impacts market prices to loggers and...
